Is there a difference between batteries between a classic and R/L? That should be answered first.

You have to remove the passenger fender to get the battery out and to put a new one in.

these stock batteries are heavy. That's why I just replaced it with a 15 lb battery. But I forgot to weigh the other one before i traded it in.

I was just wondering how much weight I shaved off for my car.

I already shaved off 24 lbs when I replace the stock rims with my new rims.

I wanted to know the total of weight deducted.

Thanks much

I'm not sure either but I'm sure you saved a lot. I too was looking at that battery. It sure is expensive though. You can get the DDM brake calipers and save some good weight too plus better brake performance. I think they advertise 6lbs per caliper weight savings.

I've got the same rims in my attic waiting to put on when I return from deployment.
